Scottish Woodburner Ban In New builds

Mechanical ventilation, open a fxxxing window every now and again

You missed the heat recovery part - opening a window loses all the heat in the exhausted air whereas mvhr recovers almost all of it into the incoming air

Well, that's an embarrassing reply.......how to make yourself look a tit...with a "fxxxing" for emphasis 😀

Just completed and moved into our new self build with air source heating and log burner with external direct air kit fitted. It’s a modern clear skies one that is so efficient and clean burning. The problem comes if the wood burned is not  correctly seasoned. Wouldn’t want to be without ours.all that will happen now is they will get fitted once house has been signed off.

It's not embarrassing me as I don't have or will have in my lifetime left a mvhr system in my house, a Worcester combi boiler to heat my water and a Morso log stove

I do like fresh air so the windows do get opened

"I do like fresh air so the windows do get opened"

Mvhr draws in fresh air, it's just preheated by the air you dump out.

Cleaner, maybe, but not clean.

It seems that while the new ban includes no biomass boilers in new builds you can get a £9k subsidy to install one in an existing house. Right hand obviously unaware of what left hand is doing

Winters are certainly not getting colder. Nor are they likely to in the future.

Lol. Earth calling sun, an expert on singletrack world (something about bicycles possibly) says you're not allowed to decrease in activity over the next few decades, so none of that 'solar minimum ' stuff, ok?

Hey NASA, do you think that will make the slightest difference?

Oh.

Should read in “isolated rural situations”.

TBH, Melpitz is certainly not what i'd call isolated, or rural. Deprived and underdeveloped maybe...

£10 a day for a 4kw single heat source is hardly cheap.”

We’re talking about the people saying they need wood stoves in case there’s some kind of emergency.

£5k plus seasoned/kiln-dried wood at every increasing prices vs £10 a day in an emergency (plus remember you're saving the electricity cost as you're not using it that day)...

£10 a day in an emergency
